Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

  1. 1.

    What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?

    OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.

  2. 2.

    What are the base and the OTE for this role?

    No point investing hours before you know the number.

  3. 3.

    Who's the economic buyer, and who else is in the deal?

    Selling to a CFO and selling to a developer are different jobs.

  4. 4.

    What's the annual quota, and how was it set?

    A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.

  5. 5.

    Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?

    Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

› When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
EnerMech is a global specialist services company delivering integrated solutions across the energy and infrastructure sectors. We combine technical expertise, operational capability and a strong focus on safety and performance to support customers throughout the lifecycle of their assets. As we continue to grow, we are strengthening our global Commercial capability and are looking for a Director, Sales Force Effectiveness to help transform how we manage sales, opportunities and customer accounts across the business. The Role This is a global role responsible for building and embedding the sales operating system that will support EnerMech's growth ambitions across our three Global Business Lines. You will establish greater consistency and discipline across our sales lifecycle, including sales methodology, CRM, forecasting, KPIs, account management, sales enablement and governance. Working across a global matrix organisation, you will influence senior commercial and business leaders to embed common standards and create greater visibility and predictability across our sales pipeline. Key Responsibilities - Build and embed a consistent global sales methodology and operating framework. - Lead CRM development, governance and adoption across sales teams. - Establish robust sales forecasting, pipeline management and reporting. - Develop global sales KPIs and performance measures. - Introduce sales technology, automation and AI to improve insight and productivity. - Establish strategic account management standards and processes. - Develop sales playbooks, tools, training and manager capability. - Improve pipeline quality, forecast accuracy, conversion and commercial visibility. - Drive adoption and behavioural change across GBLs and regions. - Provide senior leadership with clear insight into sales performance, risks and opportunities.

You will bring strong experience in sales methodology, CRM transformation and adoption, forecasting, sales KPIs, account management and sales enablement, ideally within a complex global or matrix organisation. Experience in energy, oil & gas, engineering or industrial services would be advantageous but is not essential. You will be commercially credible, analytical and influential, with the ability to challenge senior stakeholders and drive meaningful change without relying on direct authority. This is not a traditional Business Development role. It is an opportunity to build the systems, processes and capabilities that enable a global sales organisation to perform more consistently and predictably. Benefits Why Join EnerMech? At EnerMech, you'll join a global organisation where innovation, collaboration and technical excellence drive everything we do. You'll have the opportunity to influence business strategy, develop long-term customer partnerships and contribute to some of the world's most challenging energy and industrial projects.
